Autism Spectrum According To Michael Savage

Michael Savage has characterized autism in a variety of insensitive ways. He says in 99% of the cases, a child diagnosed with autism is really "a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out". The diagnosis of autism falls on a spectrum, ranging from mild (highly functional) to severe (little or no function). It doesn't sound like Savage sees it that way. Autism, according to him, is a phony disease.

To me, there is one disease that they all have; it's called S-T-U-P-I-D. That's the main illness most of these kids have.

This, then, is a plausible spectrum of the autism disorder according to Michael Savage.

I suppose Savage also thinks Stephen Hawking is just lazy.
